What's the score with the string retainer?

 

[fogman]

Oh that's beautiful!!!!
I don't even care about the sig.
Brent, which store is it at???

 

[Sub1 Zero]

God I love that, but I wish the sig was on the back...

 

[fogman]

I'd even remove it!!!!

 

[Jimmyb]

It looks great in that colour.

I've got an (almost) identical twin...

Better yet! You've got a trem.

Me too.....much as I admire Albert Lee I wouldn't let him (or anyone else) near my guitar with a pen.....never quite understood that particular fashion.
Does it increase or decrease the resale value??

ya gots me there partner !
just had a close peek, the screws aren't installed 100% in line with each-other, Its the way we got it, and Albert signed it and my '65 Twin at our Miss store when he was chillin' before our clinic last summer..

 

[Jimmyb]

It probably depends on who has signed it and if the collectors are willing to pay.

For example, if it was signed by Paul McCartney (I've only chosen him because I believe that he doesn't sign anything nowadays) the value would increase, whereas if it were signed by Jimmy B. Love, it would be worthless

 

[fogman]

Does it increase or decrease the resale value??

I think that all depends on who's buying it, how many sigs he's done in his life, how famous he is...........
I love and respect him, but I wouldn't want anyone writing on my guitar unless there was some special reason for it.

Must be an after-sale modification, I don't think any of them left the factory like that...

LOL!!!
Don't get me wrong. Sign the headstock, sign the pickguard, back plate, or photograph....
That sig is in the worse possible spot.
I'd want the guitar to play.
The sig would be gone in 2 hours of play!

you are correct sir..the screws are not installed evenly, not factory for sure...
Cheers man

Yes, I've seen shops in the USA asking $$$thousands for essentially worthless Chinese guitars signed by whoever.
Suppose it changes the role from "musical instrument" to "collector's item"

 

[58super]

I owned that guitar before the sig, for I dunno, about ten minutes and traded it for another Ball that I traded for another Ball and so on and so on......

 

[Sub1 Zero]

Is there a way to just...... say lift the signature with some sort of tape and keep it, and just not have to have it on the guitar?

 

[jagged]

you can probably do an ink transfer some how... just ask the folks over at CSI...
